Projects
 
The Parish Council is currently looking at the following projects
 
  • Parish Plan - To consult with the local community, to review priorities of the village
  • Bus Shelters at Mays Lane and Sandford Leaze
  • To assess and develop leisure facilities for the elderly in the village
  • Producing a community directory for all households
  • Redesigning the Avening Walks Brochure
  • Traffic and Highways issues
  • Projects to keep the village clean and tidy
  • Developing a neighbourhood watch scheme
 
 
The Parish has a Conservation Statement which is a document produced by the District Council with the assistance of the village. This sets out to preserve the character of the village for the future and gives a background on the village landscape. This is very informative when the Parish Council are considering planning applications.
 
 
 
The Local Villager is a useful publication to give monthly information on village events. If you wish to include an article or advertise, contact the Villager Editor by e-mail or Tel: 01453 834402
 
 
 
The village also has for sale in the local Post Office a publication entitled "Six Walks Around Avening" which gives a good insight in to the village landscape and surroundings.
